stevie_b Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'm going to be setting up a Version Control System on an Ubuntu Linux platform, mainly for source code files rather than binary documents. Does anyone on here have experience of doing something similar, and hence any advice on which to go for? I've looked at what VCS/SCCS software is out there, and most seem to be peer-to-peer systems (what I mean is they have no central repository). Subversion, Mercurial and git seem the most popular, of which only Subversion seems to have a central master repository. This will only be used by 2 or 3 co-located software developers, so pretty small scale stuff. I can't find a straight answer as to why most of the VCS software seems to be going masterless. Any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 SVN is one to look at.. Use the tortoise front end One of the main reasons for going masterless is probably the fact that most developers work from home (at least our bunch seem to ), and reliable comms is an issue. I've tied ours into the AD so that adding users is realitively straight forward, just add them to the AD group http://www.open.collab.net/products/subversion/ (I've got a snapshot of our install doc if you need it set up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
